Wrong month.

Any significance to Simon’s Instagram story? Would make Phosphorescent likely?

I think so, unless we’ve got The Wrong Year.

I predict tomorrow will be a case of “What a terrible line up” v “What a beautiful line up”…

Could Mogwai be in the running or does them playing Arctangent rule them out?

Not just you. I don't think they would suit the Woods stage at all. Maybe we'll see a Bill Callahan type situation - listed as a headliner but play the Garden stage.

Surely Decemberists and Sleater Kinney now nailed on. Hoping that means Wednesday will hang around too.

Would suit Garden Stage better I think. I see they are playing False Lankum in full in Brussels/Berlin in September, so surely will be playing.

Simon has shared an instagram story with someone asking "Decemberists for next year?".....

Difficult to pick headliners, as always. Big Thief would seem the obvious booking, moving up from their previous slots. Self Esteem maybe?? Would love Mitski. I think if Pavement were an option they would have done it by now. Maybe a return for Mogwai? Has been a long time and they've released several really good albums since they last played. Would like to see Daughter return on the strength of their recent album but not sure Elena is up to touring at the moment. Others I'd like on the line up: Lanterns on the Lake (garden please) Hey Colossus Molly Nation of Language Sarabeth Tucek Humour Deadletter Blondshell Julia Jacklin (been a while) Bess Atwell Damefrisor DITZ Billie Marten DIIV Gaz Coombes? (Not their usual booking but last album was very good indeed)

It’s Wet Leg. 100%. Latest Instagram post confirms it.

A few years ago, we got to the site pretty early so we were one of the first handful of people to make our way into the large expanse of the general camping area. We all dumped our stuff on the ground in our rough usual spot and sat down and cracked open some beers before we faced the task of putting the tents up. I was sat down with my arms out just behind me with my hands on the ground chatting away when, despite the acres of space around, somebody walked right past and trod on my hand!

You can only sell via the official resales site - Twickets. I think it will be very unlikely that you will get face value for this. There are literally hundreds of tickets for sale on Twickets (and the asking prices are likely to tumble quite significantly over the next week in view of this).

Just had a look on Twickets - woah, that is a lot of tickets available! Not sure people listing tickets at face value are going to get much joy...

The Sunday of 2017 was very wet - pretty solid rain all day. I don't remember there being much in the way of mud though and could still get the car out afterwards. Just be aware that there really aren't many covered areas, and few places to sit down. The tipi/folly and big top tend to get very busy when it rains and they do stop people entering when full. So, be prepared to get wet. Oh, and if you want to use an umbrella either stand at the back out the way or put it down when the artist is on stage.

Sarabeth Tucek has announced a UK tour starting in Brighton on Tues 5th Sept. Late night Tipi slot on the Sunday? Has played the festival before...

Just listening to UMO on the BBC coverage. Yawn!😴

Boygenius have announced a London show on 20th August…

I had a chat with Big Jeff at the weekend. His top recommendation from the undercard was Avalanche Kaito.

Good point. And there was Metronomy of course…

Would be a bizarre choice. Where has that even come from?

But these posters never have clues. I was talking more about the proper clues in previous years - the Chutes too narrow one for The Shins, and the what three words link to the mirror shop for Angel Olsen for example.

Remember the days of clues given out the day before the line-up release?!

Not hailing their return at all, not even a fan. Just wondering where they might play. Would be a pretty underwhelming headliner I think but wouldn't put it past EOTR putting them on the Woods, particularly on the Thursday. Garden more likely though, surely?

So, Walkmen nailed on. Where do we think? Garden headline? Thursday Woods?
